Graduation Speech Guidelines
What are the graduation speeches about?
🎓The first speech (Past Speech) looks back in time to the past four years with the memories of high school, lessons learned, and appreciation for people at Millennium.
🎓The second speech (Future Speech) looks forward to the opportunities and challenges ahead as the class leaves Millennium High School and pursues goals and dreams.
What are the guidelines for the Past and Future Speeches?
🎓Speeches should be 3 to 5 minutes in length when spoken.
🎓Speeches should be positive and formal/ceremonial in nature.
🎓Speeches should pertain to the entire graduating class, not just individuals.
🎓Speeches should use formal language appropriate to a momentous occasion.
🎓Speeches should be school appropriate, remembering that families are in attendance at the ceremony.
Who is eligible to submit a speech for possible audition?
🎓Any current graduating senior is eligible to submit a speech.
🎓Each graduating senior may submit only one speech per category.
What is the process?
🎓Students who wish to give the Past or Future Speech at graduation need to submit via email a typed, double spaced copy of the speech to Mrs. Lopez via email (klopez1@aguafria.org) no later than 2:15 p.m. on Friday, March 22nd, 2024. You will need to indicate on your submitted speech whether it's about the past four years or future opportunities and challenges.
🎓An initial screening for inappropriate content will be done by administration. The speeches will then be reviewed for content and rated.
🎓The students who write the top speeches in each category will be invited to audition before a faculty panel on Wednesday, March 27th, 2024. The panel will consist of Millennium faculty. This panel will recommend to the principal two candidates for the ceremony’s speeches. Auditions will take place on campus and you'll be emailed the time and location once you've been approved to audition.
Order Your Cap & Gown With Jostens
-
Update: Cap and Gown Distribution is Tuesday, March 5th. Please order your cap and gown if you have not already done so to ensure your gown is there for pick up. Online ordering will close at midnight on Monday, March 4th. All orders from the Cap and Gown Distribution event on will need to be made in person at their Phoenix store.
Jostens is our vendor for your cap and gown. They do also sell other items such as announcements, lettermen jackets, spirit gear, Class of 2024 memorabilia, plus so much more.
The only item required to be ordered through Jostens is the cap and gown to ensure it's the right color purple. The "cap and gown unit" can be found here. Caps and gowns from previous graduating classes at Millennium are also OK to be reused as the color purple has remained the same from Jostens for many years. The only thing needing to be purchased at that point would be the tassel.
